Chapter 1910 - The Visitors (2)”
His body was small and could be lifted up by one hand.
However……
He had baby fat on his face that never faded, therefore he appeared more chubby than he really was.
“Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun! Who did you say just came back?”
Old Lord Lan and others came running after hearing the news. There’s a long line behind the old grandpa due to the commotion, but none were more emotional than the old madam with her crutch in hand. She’s choking for words as the tears swelled outward.
“Cousin!”
Lan Shaoling and Lan Shaoyan were full of joy. They are Bai Yan’s two male cousin and was just as happy to see their lucky star.
“And Xiachem, you…. you’re all back!:
With great happiness of her own, Bai Yan felt so warmed inside at the family gathered before herself: “Grandfather, Grandmother, Big Cousin, Second Cousin, I’m back…. How come Uncle and Aunt is missing?”
“Oh that, don’t worry Yan Yan, my father is accompanying my mother to her side of the family. I bet they would be turning in their stomachs if they knew you were coming back during their visit.” Lan Xiaoyun explains gleefully and gives the woman another hug.
It’s been more than two years since Bai Yan left the human world……
“You rascal, why didn’t you tell us in advance that you were coming back?” Old Lord Lan huffs a grunt despite being equally as excited. He just couldn’t keep his old habits away and puts on a stubborn front. “If you had given us notice, I would’ve had the servants prepare everything and removed those outside the door. They didn’t try to block you did they?”
Toward these unwelcomed door knockers, all of the family members present were resentful and disliked the attention. They’ve been harassed on multiple occasions already so staying inside was their only recourse.
“Speaking of which, I’ve wanted to ask this myself.” Bai Yan’s mood seems to get serious, “Do all those people come to the Lan House every day?”
The old gramps sighed: “That’s already considered small. Before it was the entire street being flooded. I couldn’t do anything so I and the rest of the family hid ourselves inside the home, only then did some of them lose the idea of seeing us.”
Bai Yan’s frown grew deeper as a result.
She had previously let loose her relationship with the Lan House so they would rise and not be picked on again. But if it’s going to affect their lives then what point was there?
“Grandfather, next time don’t hold back and drive them away. It doesn’t matter if you throw them out or use a broom.” Bai Yan sneered with contempt at those people who wants to use her family.
Taken aback for a bit, Old Lord Lan’s voice sounded hesitant: “Is that okay? Wouldn’t it effect the Medicine Sect’s reputation? What if people start saying we are using your connection to bully the weak?”
“What of it? This land has always been about the strong!” Bai Yan doesn’t hold back, “Since the Lan House is at the top then its only normal we behave as such. Why should we care about what others think when they have nothing to do with us? In the future, let the public know that a visitation slip must be sent beforehand. And if they don’t get a reply, that’s a rejection on your part!”
